The following command line arguments are enabled when you run the Display Builder or Display Viewer from a Windows Command Prompt or UNIX terminal window. For command line options for your data source, refer to the Data Sources section of this documentation.

NOTE: If a command line argument contains a space or a semicolon, then the entire argument must be enclosed in quotes (e.g.: "-sub:$data:my Data").
 

Name	Description
filename	Open a specific file in the Display Builder or Display Viewer. NOTE: If your login doesn't allow you to view a particular display, the display will not open when you use the filename option. Example: sample.rtv
-historytablename:(tablename)	Specify the table name (e.g., MY_TABLE) to use when loading historical data into graphs. NOTE: Table names cannot contain spaces. Example: -historytablename:MY_TABLE
-login	Turns on role based security. A login dialog will come up at startup.  Example: -login
-max_displays_in_cache	Sets the maximum number of display (.rtv) files with composite objects to cache. Default is 5. If value is set to 0, no displays are cached. Example: -max_displays_in_cache:50
-nomenus	Display Viewer only. Run without menus. Example: -nomenus
-noedit	Display Builder only. Run with editing disabled.  Example: -noedit
-panelconfig:(filename)	Specify the name of the panel configuration file for Multiple Display Panels. Example: -panelconfig:PANELS_GRID.ini
-rtvpass	If login is enabled, specify the password in plain text to use for the login. This parameter must be used in conjunction with rtvuser and will bypass the login dialog. If the rtvrole parameter is not specified for a user with multiple roles, the first role will be used.  Use the rtvsign parameter instead to specify an encoded user name and password.  NOTE: If the user name or password specified is not valid, the login dialog will appear. Example: -rtvpass:admin
-rtvrole	If login is enabled, specify the role to use for the login. This parameter must be used with rtvsign or rtvuser and rtvpass. If this parameter is not specified for a user with multiple roles, the first role will be used.  Example: -rtvrole:admin
-rtvsign	If login is enabled, specify an encoded user name and password to use for the login, and bypass the login dialog. Contact SL Technical Support at support@sl.com to request a copy of the utility to create the encoded strings. If the rtvrole parameter is not specified for a user with multiple roles, the first role will be used.  NOTE: If the user name or password specified is not valid, the login dialog will appear.  Example: -rtvsign:8I559A5NA8A5864J6J924N0B2
-rtvuser	If login is enabled, specify the user name in plain text to use for the login. This parameter must be used in conjunction with rtvpass and will bypass the login dialog. If the rtvrole parameter is not specified for a user with multiple roles, the first role will be used.  Use the rtvsign parameter instead to specify an encoded user name and password. NOTE: If the user name or password specified is not valid, the login dialog will appear. Example: -rtvuser:admin
-dataserver:	(filename) Read data from Data Server output file instead of directly from data sources.If no file name is specified, default output file (rtvdata.xml) will be used. If necessary, include local directory path or http URL. Example: -dataserver:rtvdata.xml
	//(host:port) Read data from Data Server via socket instead of directly from data sources. If no host is specified, local host will be used. If no port is specified, default port (3278) will be used. Example: -dataserver://remotehost:8723
	remote:http://host:port/rtvdata Read data from Data Server via servlet instead of directly from socket. The host is web server hosting the servlet. The port is port used by the web server. Example: -dataserver:remote:http://host:port/rtvdata
	name;connect Specify named data server(s). The name is the Name specified when this data server was configured and connect is either host:port or http://host:port/rtvdata. Example: -dataserver:name=MyDataServer;connect=localhost:56789 -dataserver:name=London;connect=https://londonServer:8080/rtvdata
-dsenable:(dskey)	Enable data source(s) for data attachments and defined commands that have been configured to bypass data being redirected through the specified data server(s). The dskey is the abbreviation for the data source as listed in the Attach to Data and Define Command drop down menus, but in all lower case. Example: -dsenable:sql
-u(milliseconds)	Set update rate in milliseconds. Default is 2000. Example: -u5000 (updates every 5 seconds)
-confirm:(policy value)	Set the confirm policy for all commands, overriding the confirm policy on individual objects. Default is 0. Values: -1 - do not confirm any commands  1 - confirm all commands  0 - follow individual object confirm policy Example: -confirm:-1
-saveusers	Saves the user definition file with encoded passwords. The file is only saved if you are logged in in the admin role and you are not using the Custom User Manager. Example: -saveusers
-sub:(substring:subvalue)	Add a substitution string/value pair. Multiple substitution pairs can be specified on the command line. NOTE:Substitution strings cannot contain the following:   : | . tab space , ; = < > ' " & / \ { } [ ] ( ) If your substitution value contains single quotes, you must escape them using a /. Example: -sub:$1:myValue -sub:$filter:Plant=/'SanFrancisco/'
-singleclick	Single-click to open drill down windows or execute commands. This is the default setting. NOTE: This option applies to the Display Viewer only. Example: -singleclick
-nosingleclick	Disables the default setting. Double-click to open drill down windows or execute commands. NOTE: This option applies to the Display Viewer only. Example: -nosingleclick
-nohistory	Supress historical data in graphs. Example: -nohistory
-resetlayout	Display Builder only. Starts with the default window layout. Example: -resetlayout
-timezone	Set the default timezone for interpreting and displaying dates.

To prevent the persisted timezone value from being used, pass "none" as the timezone ID. Example: -timezone:US/Eastern  -timezone:none
